FAQs

Investor questions

Can a foreign company or NRI invest in food processing in India?

Yes. India permits 100% FDI in the food processing sector under the automatic route for most activities, meaning no prior government approval is generally required. We handle company incorporation, compliance and the full setup for foreign and NRI investors.

What government incentives are available to investors?

Investors can access MoFPI schemes (PMKSY, PMFME), the ₹10,900 crore PLISFPI production-linked incentive, NHB and APEDA export assistance, and state-level policies — often stackable. We map and secure the right mix for your project.

Can you set up the entire project from scratch?

Yes — from opportunity study and company registration to land, licences (FSSAI, IEC, factory), DPR, subsidy/PLI, plant & machinery, hiring and commissioning. One accountable partner, end to end.
